Edelweiss Tokio is a renowned life insurance company that gives financial cover to you and your family members in case of any foreseen circumstances. But do you know the claim settlement ratio of Edelweiss Tokio? If not, let us explain what it is and why it is important. A claim settlement ratio lets you know the percentage of claims which Edelweiss Tokio has paid in a financial year. In simple words, it is the total insurance number of claims settled by an insurer compared to the total number of claims received.
For instance, if the death claim settlement ratio of Edelweiss Tokio is 90%, it implies that the insurer has settled 90 death insurance claims out of every 100 insurance claims received in that year. This way, the death claim settlement ratio is 90% for Edelweiss Tokio and the remaining 10% are rejected by the insurer due to any complication like whether the claim requires more investigation or there is a lack of documentation.
The higher the claim settlement ratio, the more confidence you will have in Edelweiss Tokio as it reflects the commitment of the insurer. The CSR is calculated using the following formula:
Claim settlement ratio = (settled claims/received claims) x 100
